What does a status of "Pending" mean. It has been over 24 hours and the status has not changed.
It means an administrator has to approve it. I've been waiting around a week on one Hub. Needless to say, I do not like the new system.
I think a week is a long time. There is an answer to this question by cactusbythesea that may help us. Thank you for the answer.
Hubpages has to review the hub. Hopefully they will be finished with their review soon.
Thanks, nanderson500, for the answer. Really hoping that the review will end soon. You know how it is with the excitement in hitting that Publish button. Please see cactusbythesea's answer explaining why the wait can be long.
JThomp42 is correct. An administrator has to approve the hub. Usually I have to wait at least two days before a new hub is featured.
Thank you, teachablemoments. Hoping it will only be two days.
According to a post made today by an administrator in the forums, every time you edit your pending hub, it resets the 24 hour pending period. So if you want your hub to show up 24 hours after you post it, don't touch it again until it's no longer pending. The post is here for those who are curious:

I'm not a fan of this new system, especially since I'm still seeing Hubs that consist of only a few sentences pass through the 24 hour check without getting marked as Idle.
Thanks, cactusbythesea, for the forum reference. I actually hit the published button and made several edits.

As reported in the Forums certain hubbers appear to have "Pet" status and their new hubs get published immediately without the 24-48 hours "pending" delay (orbiting arrows). What's the criteria for this (all had hubber scores above 95). or is it related to what's in the hub -...

My hub "How to Make Crispy Homemade French Fries" has been pending for 45 hours now. Did I do something wrong?
by Dr. John Anderson 12 years ago
The Googlebot visits new hubs within 30-60 minutes while they are in 'Pending' mode and the NOINDEX tag is in place for 24 Hours. This means that the bot does not index the page, and does not return for days or weeks. New pages do not get indexed for days or weeks. This causes lost traffic and lost...

I published a new Hub yesterday which as of this writing, is still "pending" and has not been featured. I noticed when I first hit "publish" that the "You've published another hub!" info box with all of the relevant links/etc. now says that the Quality Assessment...

Why my new hub still under pending status for more than 72 hours?
by Simon Cook 12 years ago
There is a lot of anger and/or frustration relating to the 'pending' system and most of it is down to the fact that it's not clear why there are exceptions - this is justified and there should be open-ness. (Note this only is aimed at new hubs, not hubs that become un-featured later)One way to do...
